I installed the mesh to do Scrog with normal thread and i have done some topping in secundary stems. Everything was fine, but the smell was getting much stronger, so i started to think to install an extractor with a smell filter.

These girls continue to develop but not really swell. I have a lot mixed feelings right now about these girls. They don't have the strong blueberry smell I was really hoping for. So maybe I'm just setting the wrong expectations. They do smell good but not the sweet as of right now. Having said that, they continue to change in smell so I might get what I want. They have really changed over the last week and due to this I started viewing the trichomes. They are looking fairly developed for six weeks. We'll see what happens over the next days.

6/24/25 the smell is intoxicating. just for the taste and smell of this plant, it is so worth it. Keep in mind this is a legit cutting and not from seed. clones are so worth it if you get the right

Gave them their 3rd and final heavy defoliation this week. Had lots of useless side branching that will just shadow out the good stuff and cause them to not ripen properly, a lot of this growth was due to the unintended extra 10 days they had in VEG before I noticed the timer wasn't doing what I asked it to do, just one of those things. Always a surprise in the grow room no matter how much you try to prepare and problem solve. I also had an air line manifold blow out this week which was very strange to see. Caught it early so girls didn't go without air for to long and I have 2 air pumps running so 1 going down is only a minor issue but still a great example of the random mishaps that occur when growing. If its one thing that experience has taught me its that less is more when it comes to how many colas you try to fit into a space. Do to many and you'll just end up with a load of mids, battling humidity problems and stress of keeping tons of half ripe colas falling all over onto each other come week 6 or 7. Everything is going great so far, no issues, although I have noticed some of the white hairs on the budlets have slight ginger tops (only a very small few) I have read in the past that this can be a sign of stress and potentially they might flip the hermie but I've done nothing to stress them so I am hoping this is just a abnormality from growing under LED. Boosted the nutrients up to 1000PPM now to let them feed heavy and pump those buds up. Hope you enjoy watching my grow and thank you all for the lovely comments and feedback, it is much appreciated ✌️

Tag 22: 🌱: LST wurde etwas nachjustiert, um die Verschattung zu minimieren. Leider habe ich dabei eines der größeren Fächerblätter eines der Haupttriebe beschädigt (Stiel gebrochen) und musste dieses nun doch entfernen. 💧: Die Erde war trocken, daher wurde gegossen. Den Angaben meines Wasserversorgers und meinen Berechnungen zur Folge, habe ich das CalMag weggelassen und nur 0,25g/l Bittersalz hinzugefügt. Auch das Bio Grow wurde wieder auf die ursprünglichen 50% des Düngeplans reduziert. Insgesamt gab es ca. 2,5l bis zu einem ersten kleinen Drain. 💡: Die Beleuchtung wurde hochgeregelt, auf einen DLI von ca. 40 bei ca. 40cm Abstand zur Pflanze. Update: Abstand auf 35cm und Leistung etwas verringert (weiterhin DLI ~40), da sonst Temperatur zu hoch steigt. Tag 24: 🌱: Heute wurde erneut die Schere angesetzt (leider etwas verspätet, aber ging nicht anders). Entfernt wurden die unteren und somit innersten und äußersten neuen Triebe an den 4 größeren "Haupttrieben" und deren Fächerblätter. Um den Schock nicht zu groß zu machen, dürfen die nach innen wachsenden Fächerblätter noch 2-3 Tage dran bleiben. Zusätzlich wurde das LST noch etwas angepasst. 💧: Die Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 26: 🌱: Heute wurde erneut die Schere angesetzt und die nach innen wachsenden Fächerblätter entfernt. Zusätzlich wurde das LST noch etwas angepasst. 💧: Die Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 27: 🌱: Es ist der Beginn von Tag 27. Es wurden nur kleinere LST Anpassungen vorgenommen und das Blattwerk etwas sortiert um die Ausleuchtung zu verbessern. Die kleine Lady denkt anscheinend bereits daran in die Blütephase zu wechseln, zumindest zeigen sich die ersten zarten Pistillen. 💧: Die Erde ist noch immer feucht. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 28: 🌱: Das LST wurde für ein einheitlich hohes Blätterdach erneut leicht angepasst. Ich überlege in den kommenden Tagen auch noch einige der unteren Fächerblätter, die mittlerweile ziemlich im Schatten liegen, zu entfernen. Zunächst jedoch schaue ich, was der Stretch die nächsten Tage so bringt. So langsam macht sich auch ein leichter Duft bemerkbar. 💧: Die Erde war trocken, daher wurde gegossen. Heute gab es insgesamt 3 Liter der gleichen Wachstumsmischung wie letzte Woche. Das Bittersalz scheint auf jeden Fall zu helfen. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert.

Plant is on its 24th day. Started seeing the tips of the plant become lightened. So I pulled the lights back to 25 inches in case it was the cause.

This week, I tried to LST them in the beginning of the week, but the stalks were flimsy and weak. I put a fan on them with a significantly more vigorous wind :) This helped, then I tried to LST train with my bending clips, the distance between the nodes was still to close. So I raised the light 2 inches, which helped, I figure by 2-3 days from now, I will be able to start the proper LST. I also flushed the res and put in new water and nutrients. Some of the plants are showing what appears to be Cal/mag deficiency. So I added an increased dosing into the res, I then took about 10ml of the mix and put it into the small res's at the bottom of the AutoPots to give a boosted dose to the plants directly. Other than that, this grow is *boomin*. I'm very happy with the progress, and these plants are thick, bushy and growing like crazy.

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Coop Poop, Molasses, Feather Meal, and Soluble Kelp are ml/gallon of soil top dressed. Everything else listed in nutrients is ml/gallon of water fed to plants without checking the solution Ph. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 87°F. We had over cast skies, some gusty wind, and rain. Luckily the thunderstorms missed us. The rain did water for me. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 81°F. We had a break from the rain and I watered about 4-5 gallons per pot. Girls are still drinking heavy. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 68°F. We had overcast skies and rain most of the day. I left the house in the morning and was out til the night. I came home and a thunderstorm had wrecked most of the garden. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 72°F. The sun came out and it was super humid. I watered a few gallons as the pots and ground were still soaked. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were mostly sunny and other than the powdery mildew thriving in the humid rainy weather these girls are looking and smelling very good. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 70°F. Skies were mostly cloudy to partly cloudy. It's been very humid. I watered about 4-5 gallons. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 70°. The chance of rain was 50%. We caught the rain again. It was off and on most of the day. It was misty when it wasn't raining. I fed the number 2 plant 80ml molasses poured on top of soil and let the rain wash it in. Despite the major challenges with weather, this week was a success. These girls are really loud. They have a wonderful watermelon smell. One is straight watermelon funk. The other has a noticeable melon smell but the glue peppery, spicy, gassy smell is dominant. The powdery mildew has been the biggest challenge. This weather is just dominating my efforts to keep it sprayed off. The Ozarks make for a challenging outdoor environment.

Hello, long time, no grow. I’m trilled to start on a new grow project, i’m away from growing a long time, but my love for ot was always present, i miss it a lot so i have got a few strains from Fastbuds to test and come back with a minimal setup. I have got the Festberry, Bluedream, and the 1:20 cbd, they have sent in the Banana Purple punch Ok, so what is a minimal setup? For this grow i have choose to grow in my balcony, it is fairly big and i gave good sunlight, we are in summer now, so temps are high, swinging a lot. It is raining often as well so I did not need to water much. For the nutrients i will go organic i think, in my substrate i have about 30% warm castings, so i’m good for till mid grow length +-, i might add a bit of nutrients in 30 days mark. The objective of this experiment is to use as little as possible, 360 degrees. For the germination process i have used a mixed process method, that i have learned from Fastbuds and i have loved it, 24h in a glass of filtered water, paper towel for about 24h -48h and then the Floraflex gremination pellets, i have tested on the jiffy and worked fine as well. Cool about this method, if you are more on the anxious side or like to control more the process this is the way, you can follow the hole process and see the development in parts. I will add images later on, for this breakdown. Well that is it, lets hope for a cool, safe journey for this girls.

They are doing fine and are stinking nice. Smells like cookies rite now not sure if that’s gonna change! I didn’t take much off during the pruning process so whatever popcorn buds can be used in the press. Took clones and plant to use one as a Mom plant, wish me luck!

Day 50. Still a lot larger than I anticipated. But the good news is she still fits in the 3x3 and is showing signs of slowing down the stretch. Iv heard people burning up their plants using canna PH13/14. So I’m going to mess around with a couple dosages and see how she handles it. So far this method has done almost exactly what I wanted. Stayed about a foot shorter with a much more even canopy. In about 10 days she will be getting another heavy defoliation. Update day 54. Heavy defoliation under way to expose bud sites. In about 6 days I’m going for mt first schwazzing. Should be a good time Update: As week 8 comes to an end I and very happy with the progress. I’ve bumped the ec up to 2.8. Will continue on that for a little bit longer. Day 60 about I will do my first “schwazzing” pretty excited about that.
